Mrs. Hyde

Legendary actress Isabelle Huppert hypnotizes us again, securing her place as the ultimate queen of the screen in Serge Bozon's eccentric comedic thriller loosely based on Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Mrs. Géquil (Huppert), a timid and rather peculiar physics professor, is mocked and despised on a daily basis by everyone around her—headmaster, colleagues, and students. Just as things are looking most dire, Mrs. Géquil is hit with a stroke of luck, or rather, by a bolt of lightning. One stormy night, a freak lab accident transforms our protagonist into a decidedly different person: the intense, raunchy, and more confident Mrs. Hyde, who has mysterious energy and uncontrollable powers. As her alter-ego grows in strength, Mrs. Hyde becomes increasingly sinister. Bozon's genre-bending Mrs. Hyde explores what is really means to be a teacher, with Huppert literally radiating throughout.—Various sources
